The Best Space Photos Of The Year
NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team via TIMEThe Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635, is an emission nebula located 8,000 light-years away, image released on April 21, 2016. A Nebula is a cloud of dust or gas in outer space.
This year was a big one for space.
Scientists discovered 1,284 new planets, nine of which might be habitable. The Juno probe entered Jupiter’s orbit, and new evidence was uncovered suggesting a ninth planet exists in our own solar system — about ten times the mass of Earth!
In addition to these findings, looking into the universe gave us some of the year’s coolest photos. See more of 2016’s best space shots at TIME.
